- "Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:
- Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
- coneys are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;
- locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;
- a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings' palaces.
|
- There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
- The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
- The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
- The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
- The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
|
- "There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing:
- a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
- a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king with his army around him.
- "If you have played the fool and exalted yourself, or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth!
- For as churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife."
|
- There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
- A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
- A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
- If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
- Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
